Beyond Angels' Wings | Pastor Paul McGee

The Lord, a great handclap of praise, Amen.

The Spirit of the Lord does a drawing.

Spirit of the Lord does a drawing, Amen.

We honor the Lord. Amen.

Tonight for them, Amen. What God is going to do in their

lives. Hallelujah this evening.

Got out here after prayer tonight and there was some

Cologne on my front seat there with the name of Genesis Cologne

called Genesis. Brother Reese thought that that

would be appropriate and probably a Cologne that I need

for those that attend here regularly.

Before we went to connect groups.

I've been in a series on Genesis, matter of fact, here

and there, on and off. We've been probably about 50

lessons in Genesis. So they thought it necessary, I

guess that I have. I smelled it a little bit,

smelled a little tower Babble in there and maybe a hand of Sodom,

Gomorrah and even a few genealogies.

I think that they're. But that's funny, isn't it?

Amen. You can always depend on people.

Brother Boyd years ago said you don't have to worry about being

prideful, said because. People always keep you humble.

People always keep you humble. Amen.

I want to turn to the word of the Lord tonight.

Still yet in the prophet of Isaiah here tonight, prophet

Isaiah chapter #6 and a few verses of Scripture, Amen, this

evening. And I'll tell you, and, and this

is just the way it's been here of late.

And I, I'm just tell you right from the go, I will be

repetitive somewhat tonight. In preacher terminology, we call

it theological circling. That is that you come to the

same truth from several different angles.

And kind of like whenever Jesus, a New Testament scripture, he

said the Kingdom of heaven is like he tells a parable and a

little later down the Kingdom of heaven is like he tells a

parable and and he's coming from different angles to solidify a

truth, Amen about the Kingdom of God.

So I'm going to try to do that Amen here this evening through

God's Word. Isaiah chapter #6 again, good to

see you all, Tamara. So glad to have you.

Amen there by Amber. I know she's happy to have you

folks after church. You need to go see Amber's like

notebook. I can't even describe like the

outside of it, these little rubber like finger things,

they're all over it it. It looks like a sensory tool to

me, but. I said what?

In the world. You got over there, she.

Says that's my notebook I take. Notes.

I said, well that's fine, that's fine.

I'm just kind of drawn. To it for some reason.

So hey man, you need to check that out.

Check that out Isaiah 6 and verse one.

The Bible says in the year that King Uzziah died, Isaiah says I

saw also the Lord setting up on the throne high and lifted up,

and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the Seraphim's

which was a a classification or type of Angel.

Each one had 6 wings. With Twain he covered his face,

and with Twain, Twain means two, he covered his feet, and with

Twain he did fly and. One cried.

And two, another, and said Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.

The whole earth is full of his glory.

So there's a lot of different, it's a lot of different things

really that's contained within these first few verses.

We have our earthly king that has died.

We have we have Seraphim's and angels that are in the picture.

There are some things being cried.

Isaiah, no doubt is present. Amen.

But there's something not to be missed in the three verses as

well. That is the Lord.

And so with the help of the Lord tonight, I'm going to minister

this Beyond angels wings, beyond angels wings, Hallelujah.

Let's ask the Lord to help us. Father, I thank you.

I praise you, Lord, for another opportunity in time.

I don't want to ever take for granted, Lord, the opportunity

of coming, Lord, to your house and center in my life, Lord,

around your word. I pray, O God, that you're able

to help us tonight. I pray God that you're able to

enter this building, Lord, in a way that we could, Lord, feel

and acknowledge and recognize the Lord that you are here,

Lord, to do, to perform, to touch, to reorient.

I pray God, us in some fashion and way, God, we're so thankful

for what you've done today. God, we pray Lord, that you

would continue to do and accomplish something even here

this evening in our lives as we give ourselves over to you in

the lovely name of the Lord Jesus Christ that I pray

Hallelujah, Hallelujah in the church say Amen, Amen.

You may be seated tonight in Jesus name.

You don't have to raise your hand this evening when I ask you

the. Next couple of questions.

Kind of rhetorical for yourself or to somehow provoke your mind

and thinking in a direction, but has anyone here ever seen an

Angel or had what you would call an undeniable angelic

visitation? I don't know if maybe you have

or have not or perhaps known someone who who has, but

whenever I. Was a a.

Teenager. I remember saying as a teenager,

young of course, that I had seen an Angel.

But. If I'm honest, tonight what that

really was at least. For me, I'm just talking about

myself. Tonight was a yielding to.

The pressure of a lot of other. People that I was.

Around that was my age who were saying that they had seen an

Angel and being a young impressionable individual rather

Fred, I didn't want to be left out from not having seen an

Angel. I didn't want to seem as though

I was subpar to all of the rest. Of my peers.

And perhaps less spiritual, you know, compared to them, to

those. Who had claimed that they had

seen that and had that type of experience?

For that matter, I I confess. To you that I wanted to see it.

I wanted to be able to say brother.

Trout that that. I had seen it, but I admit a

standing before you. Today, not a teenager.

But 47 years? Old and tell you plainly.

And humbly that I did not see anything but.

What I did experience there was something very real.

I felt an overwhelming presence of the Lord Brother Mason in

that camp. Boys dormitory where I was.

I may not have seen an Angel, but I.

Had an encounter with God nonetheless.

And in retrospect, that matters more.

I grew up during the air. I'm just going to take a little.

Cautionary tale from my life. Tonight I grew up in during an

era of time when I was exposed to ministries that described

and, and I don't want to be misunderstood tonight, so I'll

probably throw disclaimers in there along the way, but that I

grew up during the time that that there was ministries that

that describe their encounter with with angels in vivid

detail. I I remember as a young man,

ministers and preachers and I, I do not fault that.

And I believe those episodes happen absolutely.

But I remember as a young man hearing those things spoken.

Of in vivid detail and. Even in services that I

attended, Brother Fred, people would testify openly about

angelic visitations, and they said that they saw them and

there would be others in the room that would affirm that they

likewise had seen. Them.

In that service as well, I remember just being a young,

impressionable young boy, remembering quietly and

wondering quietly, Brother Reese, how how spiritual this

is. Just the mind of a teenager,

mind you, how spiritual a person must be to see an Angel or have

an angelic presence that would come around them and make itself

known to them, particularly in a service that I was just as much

as part of as anybody else in that service.

And so without anybody saying, saying it out loud as a young

teenage boy, there was a unspoken hierarchy that begin to

be developed in my own mind. And that was those who had seen

something and those who had not seen something, those who had

experienced it and those who had not experienced it.

And so in in there was an atmosphere then as a result of

that that was engendered in my generation with this

preoccupation with with seeing or experiencing the angelic.

I remember this quite notably, Amen.

And so again, I want to be clear tonight, I believe those

episodes happen and I believe they still happen, Amen.

If it's in the Bible, it happens, all right?

It still happens. And I believe the Scripture in

the writer of Hebrews when he speaks to us and says that some

have entertained angels unawares, sometimes just through

simple acts of hospitality and kindness that we have shown to

strangers or people that we do not know.

And I also think tonight squarely based upon God's Word,

that we have likely entertained angels unawares far more times

even than what we realize. We may never recognize that we

may not ever seen some beaming glow around someone, but we've

experienced it. And so somewhere along the way,

however we begin though I I remember in that era that

they're they're in maybe even it still occurs today that there's

association with an angelic visitation as only happening for

the Super spiritual type people. Those those that have a certain

badge of spirituality being able to experience that or maybe just

a certain classification of Christianity that can experience

that Amen that that angels were just badges of spiritual

achievement on people's lapels when reality according to God's

word, they are servants that are on divine assignments all

throughout God's word. The Bible seems to indicate to

you and I that that the entourage of the Lord's very

presence is often times angelic in form.

It's angelic in practice. In other words, angels do not

announce a individual's spiritual rival because they've

seen that or witnessed that. If you've seen that Angel, then

you you've arrived spiritually or you got some type of leg of a

superiority in the spirit on top of someone.

No angels. What they really do for us, if

they are present is that they announced that we are in close

proximity to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and the

great divine. And so we've aired sometimes by

vying for the attention of angels, when really what we

should be looking toward and focusing on is a deeper hunger

and desire for the presence of God.

Someone say Amen. I guess my, my, my conveyance is

this tonight. Angels are not our destination.

Angels are just the accompaniment of the king.

They are the ambassadors, they are the escorts, they are the

cohorts, if you will, of God Himself.

Scripture tells us it describes angels as being ministering

spirits. It describes them as being

messengers of the King of glory. They deliver announcements.

They many times were found bringing about announcements

concerning miraculous births, births that could not happen had

it not been for the intervention of God.

Some angels have brought warnings of impending doom to

nations and people. In the book of Job, like we

spoke this morning, angels are called the sons of God.

Amen. That Satan even once walked

among in the presence of God. They are called in Scripture

holy ones or watchers, or a heavenly host or the host of

heaven. When you read in Scripture,

sometimes angels appear in human form with human characteristics.

Sometimes they speak like men, eat like them, fight like them,

possess wisdom at times that rivals human understanding.

And yet there's also times that they can be invisible, swift,

capable of flight which is beyond our human ability and

understanding. Angels in scripture were called

alongside to assist. They were called alongside to

guide and above all else they were called even and as we are

to worship. John tells us in the Book of

Revelation when he had a vision of the throne of God, he said as

I stood there, he said I beheld and I also heard a voice of many

angels around about the throne. He said they numbered 1000 * 10

thousands and thousands of thousands, and they were all

declaring with one voice Worthy is the the Lamb, Amen.

If I'm telling you right, tonight the angels are not

present, and they do not come nigh and do they do not come

near for the purpose of drawing attention to themselves, but for

the purpose of. Giving attention.

Of giving attention unto God. They are called to worship, not

to be worshipped. Church through the ages, even

the Apostolic Church through the ages has occasionally flirted

with the air. And it's not because of

rebellion or anything like that, but there's sometimes been a

misplaced fascination with the angelic.

But we need to have a longing for God that exceeds A longing

for the angelic Hey man. John himself, even in the Book

of Revelation momentarily fell into a moment of being

overwhelmed by what he was experiencing in the vision that

the Bible says the Angel that would been accompanying him.

Hey man, whenever John is seeing everything that he sees and

beholding everything that he beholds, the Bible says that

John the revelator fell down at the feet of the Angel and begin

to worship him. And the Angel seeing this

immediately spoke to John and he said, see thou do it not.

Don't you be kneeling here, Don't be worshipping here.

Don't be giving me any type of exaltation here, he says.

Because in essence, I'm a worshipper.

It's like you're a worshipper. In essence, I'm not the point,

it's the one. Who's sitting on the throne?

That's the point, folks. We can be fascinated by all

sorts and types of things, but blessed are they which do hunger

and thirst after. Him I don't need an Angel, but

I. Do need God?

Hey, man, Paul echoes this warning.

He. Cautions the Church at.

Colossians, he says, well, to them that would be beguiled by

worshipping of angels. God, he never rebukes a Angel

for accompanying him, but he does OFT times correct us, Amen.

Whenever we stop there, Amen. And we neglect the divine that's

behind the angelic, please understand.

And I got to tell you this because I don't want to be

misunderstood tonight. I believe in the existence of

angels. I'm not diminishing the purpose

of angels. I just simply want to tell you

tonight, yes, there should be honor and there should be

respect and there should be acknowledgement.

Haman And all of that is true. Haman The problem isn't angels.

The problem is I don't want to stop short at the angelic and

not press on through to the divine, because it's from him

and by him and through him that all these things come about.

It is for him. And to.

Him that all of these things are 4.

Thank God. I hope someone does see an

Angel, but you must. Understand they are an

ambassador of a higher power. They are a messenger of a divine

God who just is very spittle became universes shut them

beyond angels. Wings.

That's what we see in Scripture, Brother Fred.

You see it a lot in the Old Testament angelic visitations

through the Old Testament Genesis, Abram and Sarah visited

by what they believe 3 angels. They did recognize something,

but it was only confirmed later that one of them was the Angel

of the Lord. And usually when that

terminology is used in Scripture, we're talking about

some manifestation of God Himself, almost like a theophany

is the, the, the, the, you know, proper terminology.

Amen. Showing himself manifested

himself. And it was later that they

realized what we had here then in reality was God accompanied

by two angels. When angels showed up in the

word of God, it wasn't because people were chasing angels.

It's because people were pursuing God.

Draw near unto God. The Bible even draws some

distinct line concerning classifications of angels we we

read of in Scripture. You probably got some in your

home, you know, cherubs or cherubim, hey man, or seraphim

and seraphim, that's spoken up throughout the Scripture.

These were so important that God even included them.

Amen. As a sign unto us in His design

for the Tabernacle and even the temple.

The Bible tells us in Second Chronicles, he told them

whenever you make the veil for the temple, make sure that you

weave it with cherubim upon that veil.

Amen. That's right.

Before going into the ark of God and the holies of holies, I want

you to stitch some angels right there to the very entrance of

God's presence. He says I want symbolically,

Amen, throughout my temple, my Tabernacle, whether it's in the

curtains, whether it's in the veil, whether it's in carvings

on the wall, whether it's in the tin carvings, Amen.

That's upon the 10 lavers in the temple.

I want you to put angels there, and I want you to put seraphim

there and cherubim there. What are you doing, God?

He says I'm just reinforcing, Amen, that wherever my presence

is, you're just going to find the Angelica, you're going to

find angels, Amen. That if you see a Angel, it's

not there on its own or by its own reasoning or for its own

purpose. That I'm there.

That I'm. Present that Oh yes, cherubim

attended the ark of the covenant David, the Bible says in the

book of second Samuel, the ark of God had been gone for quite

some time. He goes to retrieve the ark of

God and the Bible says the ark of God, second Samuel 6 two the

ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts

that developed between the cherubims, the Lord of hosts.

It's one of those fancy words. You ever heard the Scripture and

people pray them. You know, like Jehovah Jireh,

Jehovah Shamar, Jehovah tis canoe.

Well, Jehovah Sabeoth was the Lord of hosts.

That appears. That Lord of hosts appears

hundreds of times in your Bible and it declares him as the Lord

of the heavenly armies, or if you will, the Lord of hosts,

meaning the Lord of the angels, the Lord of the angels.

As a matter of fact, whenever David went to fight against

Goliath in that valley of Elah, Amen.

Here he is just a shepherd boy. Here he is with just his stone

and his sling and his shepherd's bag and his staff.

He cries out to that grand enemy of Israel, Goliath.

And he tells him, I don't come to you with a shield or with a

sword of all the modern botanics, if you will, of

warfare. He says, but I come to you,

Amen, in the name of the Lord of hosts.

This was never a battle against a a shepherd and a giant.

It was a battle against a giant. And the Lord of hosts, the Lord

in his army of angels. What does that mean tonight?

That means wherever the Lord is. Amen.

Folks, we are never outnumbered. We're never outnumbered.

The Bible says that Elijah was standing in a precarious place

one time with his servants, surrounded by enemies.

And the servant says, Elijah, we're, we're, we're at odds

here. We're, we're in a bad position

because we're surrounded by adversaries.

And there was something that Elijah had picked up on Amen,

that the servant had picked up on.

Elijah knew that he was walking right in the divine pathway of

the presence of God. And he says, I know if God's.

Presence is here. He's the Lord of hosts.

He's the Lord of angels. He lays his hands on that.

Servant, and he says God. Open his eyes so that that he

can see and the. Servant looked around and

there's. Horses and Chariots, angelic

fire, all of that was nothing more but a testimony that God

was there. God was there.

Amen. That's, I mean, angels are just

the Lord's personnel. They're always in Scripture you

read, they're always connected with God, and almost every

transition into God's presence seems to be in Scripture, many

times accompanied by the angelic.

Isaiah 37 tells us that he saw the Lord enthroned between the

cherubim. The prophet Ezekiel harmonize us

with the account of Isaiah and says there in the 1st chapter of

Ezekiel, it's a fantastic descriptive reading.

He says that he saw these cherubim or these angels

supporting the very throne of God, and that they moved

wherever the Spirit moved. They're not moving of their own

volition or at their own command.

But wherever the Spirit moved, that's where we go.

That's where we follow Isaiah and our text said the seraphim

are crying. Holy, holy, holy.

They're not talking about each other.

They're talking about the one that's seated on the throne.

They're not talking about their brother Angel.

No, no, no. They're talking about the one

seated on the throne. Angels have appeared through

moments of time in Scripture. They've been there at births,

they've been there at deaths. They've been there at

deliverances. They've been there at callings.

But anytime they showed up, they were not the spectacle.

They were just a confirmation. That God is at.

Work. God is here.

God is in this place. God is about boy.

So they're not a end in themselves.

God's the central glory. Angels are just on the

peripheral. And I know sometimes we can be

dazzled by the outskirts, but it's the central glory.

It's that which is God's glory. That is the transformative

glory. An Angel can't save you for that

matter, I believe we said it here in the past few weeks.

What you got the Spirit of God even angels desire to look into

because here they are attendance of His glory, but they can't be

in the field with the Spirit like you and I are filled.

With the Spirit. And so they're interested in

that aspect of our lives. They're always connected with

God. Amen.

The Bible tells us Makaya, he's a prophet.

You can read of him in First Kings 22.

This is what Makaya the prophet said concerning the Lord.

And it's very similar to what Isaiah saw in Isaiah chapter #6

Makai. The prophet basically said this.

He said, hear thou therefore the word of the Lord.

He says I saw the Lord sitting on his throne and all the host

of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on its left.

What Makaya is describing here, the throne is central, the

throne is the attention, the throne is the focus, and there

is an audience standing of the heavenly host on the left hand

and on the right sides. God in this picture is

surrounded by the angelic on each side.

But again, to witness the angels is to witness then your nearness

to God because they are accompanying Him.

They are there because of Him. What are you saying?

I'm saying whenever Isaiah says in the year that King Uzziah

died, I saw the Lord high and lifted up.

If we would take a moment, there's a lot of things that

Isaiah could have been swept away by in what he was

experiencing and seeing and noticing in that moment.

He could have been overtaken by the fact that our earthly king

had expired and had deceased and there was going to be a new

kingship. That was necessary.

He could have been taken back by the fact that there are

seraphims that are above here with six wings, 2 covering their

face, 2 they're fine with and two covering their feet.

He could have you been intoxicated by the melody of

their cries of holy, holy, holy, but the end result of everything

that he experienced and seen earthly king dying.

The angelic in the atmosphere, he says.

Let me tell you what I saw though.

I saw the. Lord in and of it all.

He said. My focus, my attention.

What? Grabbed me more than anything is

that the Lord was still on his throne and he was high and he

was lifted up and his train. Oh Jesus, someone say glory.

It's the first thing he noticed. King's dead, yes, he says.

But I saw, I saw the Lord. It also interests me.

Brother Fred, with the cry of the Seraphim's did not concern

was not about. Isaiah.

Did not concern was not about one another, but they're holy,

holy holy that they spoke with in that scripture is followed

with is the Lord of hosts and the whole earth is filled with

his glory. It wasn't a recognition of each

other and it wasn't a recognition of the mortal man

that was among them and it wasn't a recognition of the

mortal man that had passed away. Even the angels in this scenario

was captured by who they had audience with in that moment and

it was the Lord of hosts, the Lord of hosts.

Do you understand? And then in these few verses,

the emphasis is all about God. The emphasis is all about the

Lord. Folks, I hope we see some grand

things. I hope we experience signs and

miracles and. Wonders, but I never.

Want to get to the? Place where I am fascinated by

the sign and the miracle and the wonder, and I lose sight of the

one that's high and lifted up and sets on his throne and

causes and procures all these other things that we

experienced. And again, this this might be

therapeutic session for me tonight, OK dealing with

something from my childhood. But God doesn't make mistakes

either. And I know what we speak from

this pulpit on a Sunday night goes in the airwaves and they

are forever listed in a podcast because I've had people contact

me later over. I'm asking myself sometimes, had

I ever missed the Lord while I was seeking and looking for an

Angel? They're present, but simply

because He's present. Psalmist described as such that

the Lord rode up on a cherub. Cherub took flight and the Lord

says I'm going to use you as a vehicle today.

They're just attendants and worshippers and witnesses.

They testified to our encounters with God, but they never

determine them. Oh really?

Bert McGee yes. Let's think for a moment.

Just walk with me here for a moment.

I'll be mindful of your time, but just think for a moment.

There was a baby born in Bethlehem's Manger.

The Bible says they called him Jesus.

Yes, they also known as Emmanuel, God with us.

Do you know who appears at the birth to shepherds in a field

over Yonder? The angelic singing Glory to God

in the highest peace on earth. Goodwill toward men.

If. They shepherds watching their

flock by night, had only been. Caught up in the angelic Whoa,

they would have missed that holy child.

Those angels weren't the point. The Manger.

But they had to accompany him because he had come down.

When he is resurrected. From the dead and there's some

that arrive to now the vacant tomb.

What do they encounter? Angel there.

Angel and other of the harmonies inside where he used to lay.

One person thought there was a gardener.

They're there because he had been there.

Whenever he ascends into heaven in Acts chapter #1 and disciples

are there, and they see his feet.

Leave that mount. Call all of it.

It's not very soon as they're watching.

Him go that angels. Appear and say, Why do you stand

here? Gazing the same Jesus that came.

Amen. That's going away.

We'll. Come back to you.

Why are they there? Because they got to accompany

the divine and his presence. They're not the point.

He's. Everybody doing all right?

Furthermore, go back to the. Garden of Gethsemane and Peter's

drawn his sword to cut off ears because of feeling threatened by

those who have come to the garden with stage and swords, he

tells Peter. Put up your sword and watch it

now. It's as though Jesus is

revealing to him. They would have been here, but

I. Had to prevent them.

Do you not know Peter? I could call 12.

Legion of of Angels, you know, he said.

I have let this slide. For this time because they got

to apprehend men, so I just told them to stay over there in the

distance, but. Normally they would be wherever

I'm at. You know what the Bible also

tells us then in the Bible, in the book of Thessalonians,

Second Thessalonians 17, the Paul, he opens his mouth and he

puts a pin to page and he says, I tell you this, that the day

that the Son of Man returns, the day that Jesus comes back, he

says he will be accompanied by his mighty angels, because where

he goes, they. Go.

They're not the point. He's the point.

Their visitation ain't the point.

It's understanding you're having a visitation of God in this

moment. They show up when God is doing

something. Not us trying to see them, we

need to be trying to see him. Interestingly enough to me, I'm

getting there folks. Quite frankly, in my human

flesh, I'm tired. We don't have many names in

scripture of angels if you and far between, but the ones that

we know do know of for instance. Michael, you.

Want to talk about how much there's this accompanying of God

in them, Michael? Or if I could, Mike L, who means

who is like God. It's that El which is translated

as God. If he didn't have that, he would

just be who is like it's God that gives the meaning to his

name. When you read about Gabriel,

that ministering Angel that announced the birth to, the

birth to to Elizabeth and Zachariah of John the Baptist,

and even the birth of Christ, it's Gabriel or Gabriel L, whose

name means strength. Of God without the L you just

got. Strength.

It's the God. That gives the real meaning to

the Angel. I'm going to step further.

Who once was an Angel? Someone say glory.

I'm trying to set us up here because angels are never the

source. They are the SIM ones.

The Bible says Lucifer. Well brother McGee, there's no

ail in there, just point it out. But Lucifer means light bearer

or Morning Star. You know what the Morning Star

is? It's that brightest planet

called Venus right before the breaking of the dawn.

Venus has no light of its own. It's borrowing light to shine

light, and it's always the brightest right before the sun

comes up. Honey, he.

Would not even to be a light bearer if there wasn't a light

to be born. But the great God of glory who

stepped into chaos and darkness said let there be light.

He's the light of the world. He's the only one that gives

purpose and meaning to the supernatural and the angelic,

because they accompany and must our God.

I'm talking about beyond angels. No, God, you can stand with me

before they get a Gurney to Take Me Out of here.

What I'm saying is this. The angelic has never been the

purpose. The angelic has always been the

evidence of the real purpose. They attend to His glory.

They don't replace His glory. They stand where God stands,

they move where God moves, and they worship him with what he

deserves. So when angels appear, that's

not so much so heaven being showcased as much as it is, you

know what's going on. God is drawing near to us.

So ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the session tonight.

You've really helped me out. All those years ago, this is

what I know. Sister Jen Cruise all those

years ago as a teenage young boy.

Brother Mason all those years ago, I didn't need to see angels

to experience God. As I stood there not seeing

anything, I was feeling God. And perhaps, Brother Reese,

perhaps rather than staring and squinting my eyes to see if what

others undoubtfully saw, perhaps I should have just closed my

eyes and reflected and savoured that God is here and that's why

they are here. You never have one commandment

or mandate in scripture that says seek after angels, but we

are repeatedly towed. Seek after the Lord, feel after

the Lord. If haply you might find him, for

he's not far. He's not far from every.

What are you been saying tonight, brother?

Me, I can say this with confidence.

I felt him this. Morning.

I feel him right. Now I tell you, with the

assurity of scripture and boldness, we are in the company

of angels right now. Because he's here.

And I don't want anybody to go. I don't want to be my sisters

to. I'm not discouraging you.

God would ever reveal the image of an Angel or the apparition of

an Angel to you. I'm not discouraging you.

The danger is not in US believing in angels, but the

threat is just stopping with them.

What I encourage you to do is do, do as Isaiah did, come into

that scenario and be looking for the Lord.

Come in that scenario of the melody of angels crying holy,

holy, and say that's sweet, but I know he's here somewhere.

That's sweet, but I'm looking for the Lord.

I'm looking for Him to be high and I'm looking for Him to be

lifted up. Because ladies and gentlemen,

beyond angels wings lies the presence of God.

Anything less than him is not the destiny, not the purpose.

He alone will always be, and His glory will always be the sole

purpose. And I feel Him, you know?

You know the old chorus we used to sing Rebecca and Tag.

You guys know him. Surely the presence of the Lord

is in this place. I feel his mighty power and his

grace. I feel the rush of angels.

That's lyrically, biblically true, because they must

accompany they. Must accompany his presence.

I would ask this tonight to enter a time right here at the

closure of the service. I want you to close your eyes.

I want you to minimize any distraction around you right

now, and I want you to hone in and I want you to become

fastened and fastened by the presence of the Lord.

He's here. You don't have to take my word

for it. Seek after Him right now.

Search after Him right now tonight would be a good night

for somebody just to linger oh in the presence of angels yes

that's just a byproduct, but ultimately you're standing in

proximity and closeness to the creator of the universe hell of

a Messiah the. Judge of Old Judge.

That will answer to one day. We're in it's presence.

Come on Sir, ma'am, I want to experience the miracle, but I

need the God of the miracle. I want to wonder, but he's the

God of wonder who come up behind.

I want the inexplicable, but he's the God of the inexplicable

just beyond angels wings. Come on, Sir, ma'am, if you

will, will you raise your hands right now just as a sign of

surrender and obedience to the Spirit of the Lord that's in

this building? Will you just raise your hands

right now? Will you create that funnel

right now? Hallelujah, all across this

building. You can begin to pray.

You can begin to speak in tongues.

You can begin to give adoration and glory.

I guarantee you angels are here worshiping.

I want to join in that company of a innumerable number that cry

holy, holy, holy, it's the Lord. But Brother McGee, Isaiah stood

in that atmosphere and he said, Behold, I am a man of unclean

lips and I do all among the unclean people.

And the Bible says the seraphim, the Angel, went to the altar and

picked up a life coat and took it and touched his to his lips

and his lips became clean. They're ministering spirits.

The coat from which that would probably come from was either

the altar burnt offering or the altar of incense, both in the

very beginning, the Tabernacle in the woods, you know, where

the fire came from, initially came from God.

He ignited the fire so there would have never been a hot

Cove. For Isaiah's lips, though borne

by an Angel, better not have been a God that initiated.

The fire. He's always the purpose.

Let's worship Him one more. They're going to sing a song.

These altars are open. I'm telling you, folks, I feel

unmistakable presence of God here right now.

Unmistakable presence of God. I wish we would respond to his

presence. Respond to his presence.

Say, Brother McGee, I don't feel anything right now.

That's OK. You can raise your hands and be

respectful in honoring him. Amen.

Because before we leave this place, there might be a fresh

touch that comes along your Pew and upon your life.

Sometimes we entertain angels unawares, and if they're there,

he's there.
